Round Two with New Content! The process is the same, but the standards have changed! In Grades 3–5, many students struggle on the Math STAAR not because they lack effort, but because they hold on to deep-rooted misconceptions. This session focuses on uncovering and addressing those misunderstandings tied to high-priority TEKS that have been taught in the second semester. Educators will analyze common error patterns in STAAR items, explore concrete-to-representational-to-abstract (CRA) strategies, and discover how to turn misconceptions into moments of clarity and connection.

Let us support you with your renewal application. TIA offers five-year system approvals for local designation systems. Districts must submit a renewal application during year five. This will ensure continuity with the data submission and allow districts to continually designate teachers. This workshop will support the renewal process. We will support you with (1) meeting current statutory requirements, (2) holistically reviewing the existing system to identify strengths and areas for continuous improvement, and (3) expanding or modifying your local designation system to include additional eligible teaching assignments. Districts that do not submit a renewal application on their required renewal timeline will have an expired TIA system and will no longer be able to designate teachers.
